He did a system restore from the original disks and not a system recovery from a recent save. The system restore will put everything back to where it was when those disks were created and thus you will have programs that you removed or do not use. It will also delete all data files and that is the important loss. A system recovery will only restore the Windows operating files to the way things were from a recent save date. Here no data files are lost and you get everything including screen settings etc. back.
